Mazak CNC Setup Operator

KADON PRECISION MACHINING, LLC

Job Description

Job Description

Description:

Are you one of the best? Or ready to become one of the best?
We’re looking for driven, detail-oriented professionals who take pride in their craft and want to work in a fast-paced aerospace environment where precision, consistency, and pride in workmanship are the standard.

At Kadon Aerospace, we don’t just make parts — we build critical aerospace components trusted across the country. We’re an AS9100-certified, high-performance team built on craftsmanship, collaboration, and accountability.

What You’ll Do

  • Set up and operate Mazak CNC lathes for aerospace components.
  • Read and interpret blueprints, GD&T, and AS9100 documentation.
  • Ensure precision, consistency, and quality across every job.
  • Collaborate with production and quality teams to continuously improve setups and cycle times.
Requirements:

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven CNC setup experience (Mazak or similar control preferred).
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and a commitment to doing things right.
  • The desire to be part of a team that pushes for excellence every day.
  • Must be able to set up and process your own parts.

What We Offer

  • Top pay for top talent. We reward experience, leadership, and skill — not just time on the clock.
  • Opportunity for growth. If you have the drive and potential to become one of the best, we’ll help get you there.
  • Plenty of hours. Consistent work, long-term programs, and overtime opportunities available.
  • Modern equipment. Late-model Mazak lathes , multi-axis machining, and precision aerospace work.
  • A team that values skill and pride. You’ll work alongside experienced machinists who set the bar high.
  • Competitive wages with opportunities for growth
  • Comprehensive health, dental and vision insurance options
  • 401(k) plan with company support to help you build your future
  • Company-paid life insurance coverage
  • Short-term and long-term disability insurance for added peace of mind
  • Additional perks and benefits designed to support you both at work and at home

If you’re already one of the best — or if you’re ready to become one — we want to talk to you.
Join a team where your skill, pride, and potential are recognized and rewarded.

Equal Opportunity Employer Statement:
We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity in the workplace. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or veteran status.
